### Joining testnet using snapshot

We recommend joining the testnet using a snapshot that has been taken after the most recent upgrade.
The SEDA team is planning to provide links for downloading snapshots soon, but for now you may use the snapshot provided by Lavender.Five Nodes.

```bash
$BIN join <moniker> --network testnet

# Backup private validator state file if you'd like.
cp $HOME/.sedad/data/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/.sedad/priv_validator_state.json.backup

# Download snapshot, decompress it, and place it under chain directory.
wget https://snapshots.lavenderfive.com/testnet-snapshots/seda/seda_450477.tar.lz4
lz4 -dc < seda_450477.tar.lz4 | tar xvf - -C $HOME/.sedad

$BIN start
```bash
Lavender.Five Nodes also provides detailed instructions [here](https://snapshots.lavenderfive.com/testnet-snapshots/seda/seda_450477.tar.lz4).
### Running the Node Yourself Dockerized
For instructions how to run the node yourself as a normal node or a validator in [docker](https://www.docker.com/).
